Somebody, I think it was Jeff Pearce (or maybe Bill Binkelman... I get those two confused) said that she had a baby, or maybe more than one, and was keeping busy with that.

she did have a baby. last time i communicated with her she and her husband were busy with their producing and engineering work. (there is no need to get jeff or bill confused. they do that quite well on their own.)

Hello,this is my first post to this forum as I have only discovered the Hypnos website (not the label) quite recently. My name is Mirko, from Luxembourg. I was browsing through this thread and I saw that there were plans to rerelease "Jeff Pearce | Daylight Slowly" in 2008. Has that happened so far ? On the mailorder it's out of stock, so am I again too late, or is it only coming soon ?

Thanks for the help.Best greetings to one of my favourite labels for ambient music.

No, you're not too late with Daylight Slowly. In fact I've just been slow about getting the CD into production so it appears this will be an early 2009 release. My apologies to those who are waiting on these discs, and to Jeff Pearce as well.

We decide each case individually when it comes to repressing Hypnos CDs that run out. Vidna Obmana has requested that all his CDs be allowed to lapse out of print when they're sold out, so we will not be repressing The Surreal Sanctuary. The same goes for other Vidna Obmana CDs on Hypnos, when they sell out, though we did repress Landscape in Obscurity when the first pressing sold out fairly quickly because this was before VO's decision to stop releasing music under that name.

Usually when we run our of a CD we intend to get it back into print at some point, though it sometimes makes sense to leave a disc out of print for a while to gauge how interested people are in it. If there is not much interest, it doesn't make sense to pay for the repressing, if it will take several years before the cost of repressing is recouped.

Hi MirkoYes indeed, these release are still planned, and the delay does not indicate a change in plans to release these items. We've just been slow to move several projects forward during 2009. We plan to make some progress on these releases, as well as other planned projects, very soon. Thanks for your patience.

Since the Nebula CD hasn't been released yet, plus their is all the confusion as to which band is which I was thinking its not too late for yet another name change to perhaps Nebulous. Not only does the term mean "hazy, vague, indistinct, or confused," but it also has a lesser known secondary meaning "of or resembling a nebula."

I am just getting into the Hypnos catalogue, loved Sense Project - Sublime and I am thinking of a getting between 5 and 10 albums next month. What would you say are the must haves?

I was wondering how many hypnos cd's I have listened to, so I went to the hypnos section of the store and found out it was a whopping 34 releases! That's a lot for me, for one label, so let me give you my faves.

In the category of more melodic, beautiful ambient/spacemusic, I'd recommend these:

If you go the Hypnos Binary route, which the releases are more rhythmic, Dweller at the Threshold's Ourobouros and Vir Unis/ Saul Stoke's Thermal Transfer are essential listening.

I've tapered off buying lately and haven't heard any of the Secret Sounds releases yet, though a few do look quite appealing. Even if you randomly select 10 cd's from various years of Hypnos releases, you probably won't go wrong... and of course you'll get a bunch of different recommendations from each individual listener.

Joseph--I'd have to agree, in Stokes we trust. Ditto for the Mother Sunrise album, one of my Hypnos favorites, too. I'd add to that Gigi's Athlit album, and Mike's 1st (?) Fulton collab, The Most Distant Point Known.
